James Altucher: Why Did I Self-Publish?

James Altucher, Author of “The Happiest Person Alive” or “Trade Like Warren Buffett”, formerly published by such traditional houses as Wiley and Penguin wrote in one of his blogs:

Publishers claim they do a lot of marketing for you. That’s laughable. Publishers do nothing to help 95% of their authors to build their platforms and their own brands. This would increase author loyalty and make the lack of a meaningful advance almost worth it.

I’ll give you a quick example. I have published seven books with major publishers. The majority of books now are sold through Amazon. Not a single one of my former publishers told me I can log into:

  • Amazon’s Author Central
  • create an author’s page
  • link my author’s page to my blog
  • upload a Video
  • have my Twitter feed in there
  • have an FAQ in there

and all the other basic tools Amazon uses to market your book.

Why? These are the world’s biggest booksellers. Why wasn’t I told about a basic marketing platform that I could use? I just learned about it last week after writing books for eight years. Now I have it all hooked up and I have a feeling I have only begun to explore the Author Central area and what Amazon can do for me.” Read all the other reasons why James Altucher self-publishes:
